The Arizona Diamondbacks lost 9-4 on Sunday against the San Diego Padres putting the Diamondbacks at 13-5 for the year.  Arizona is off to a good start leading the National League West but the Rockies are close on their tale and if they want to hold that spot, they can’t be getting beat by the Padres.

Randy Johnson opened up the night for the Diamondbacks pitching for five and two-thirds innings giving up six hits and six runs putting him at 0-1 on the season after taking the loss.  Brandon Medders, Doug Slaten, and Tony Pena were all brought in to try and seize the win but were unsuccessful.  Slaten and Pena both gave up runs in their action.
